Location

The Barjarg Fishings lie on the right (west) bank.  Above are the Mid-Nithsdale Angling Association waters and below, the Closeburn Castle beat.  Closeburn Castle also has the fishings on the left bank, opposite Barjarg.

Access to the beat

From Thornhill take the A702 to Penpont. At Penpont turn left (marked "Keir Mill"). Follow this road for 3.8 miles and the access road for the fishing (signposted "Boatcroft Farm") is off to the left.

From Auldgirth go south on the A76, cross the Nith bridge and take the 1st road to the right - signposted "Dunscore". Follow this for about 1.5 miles until you reach a minor road off to the right - signposted "Glenmidge"

Follow this for about 3 miles until you pass the gates for Barjarg Estate You cannot mistake these - large red sandstone arched gates and gatehouse.

The track for the fishing is signposted "Boatcroft Farm" off to the right about 400 yards beyond the Estate gates. The car park and fishing hut lies to the left of the Farm at the foot of the track.
